Princess Kate breaks her silence following tense meeting between William and Harry
The Princess of Wales has broken her silence following Prince William’s tense meeting with Prince Harry to welcome the new chief scout, Dwayne Fields.
Taking to X, the official account for the Prince and Princess of Wales posted: “Delighted to welcome @DwayneFields as the new UK Chief Scout.
The Scouts is such an incredible organisation, teaching #SkillsForLife and making a huge difference to young people across the country. Looking forward to working with you! C.”
The royal signed off the statement with a ‘C’ to signal her name, Catherine.
Kate’s message comes just days after William was reunited with Harry at their uncle Robert Fellowes’ funeral in Norfolk
According to eyewitnesses, William and Harry – who have been feuding for some time – did not sit together or speak to one another, with both attending the service “discreetly”.
Discussing his surprise that both William and Harry attended, Reverand Tansey told the Sun: “It was only as I was greeting the congregation on the way out that Prince William was shaking my hand, and then very quickly after Prince Harry did too.
As per the official website for UK Scouts, Dwayne is the 11th Chief Scout to “lead our half a million young people and adult volunteers for his values, commitment to help young people, and outstanding leadership qualities.”
The website added: “During his time as Chief Scout, Dwayne aims to inspire even more young people and adult volunteers to join from all backgrounds.”
Carl Hankinson – who is UK Chief Volunteer – said: “Dwayne already has the respect of thousands of young people and volunteers in Scouts. He’s shown real commitment and kindness to Scouts in communities across the UK. As well as being an inspirational adventurer and TV presenter, he’s able to reach across generations and support Scouts serving more local communities.
